Does this pad add any bulk to the sides of the mattress when it is on with a sheet?

Not really - its quite thin and fits well, I've never had any issues getting a sheet over it (I don't even notice its on there) - I think its well worth the money, its very high quality

The pad fits snuggly and doesn't add bulk. The sides of the pad are thinner fabric than the waterproof top. We have no trouble putting sheets on. It's a great pad, washes well and is durable. We did a lot of research and we're glad we decided to buy this one.

No extra bulk on the sides than a fitted sheet. The top is a little thicker but doesn't prevent normal crib sheets from fitting.

No, the pad is smaller and thinner than a regular mattress. I got a bunch of crib sheets for my baby shower so my mom used her mad grandma skills to modify them to fit.

I have had two of these. They are really for a very thick mattress with foam memory pad on top - lots of bulk unless mattress is thick.

No. It lays right on top. With extra fabric that hangs over the edges, enough that some parts can be tuck in. It did shrink some after I washed it. I have an organic futon mattress, so the pad stays on nicely. Love my bed!The pad is not as thick as the picture shown, only a 1/2 -3/4 inch thick.

It depends on how much liquid seeps through to the pad--in my experience, it protects the mattress very well, even if there is quite a lot of "liquid" seeping throughout the sheet.

My mattress is also 6" but the pad works just fine on it. The corners fit well but there isn't a lot of extra fabric to wrap around the sides. The fabric comes right to the end of the mattress. With the fitted sheet on there you don't notice, and I haven't had a problem with the mattress pad coming off.

No, it doesn't change the feel of my memory foam mattress. It's just like having a sheet over the mattress. The only drawback is that it makes a slight crinkly noise when you move around.

No. my mattress is not a really thick one and the mattress pad still works very well.

I put a pad on top of mine, but I don't see why you couldn't just put a sheet directly on it. For me though, I like having an extra layer to protect the mattress in case of spills or other random messes.

Yes. The sheet will not fit all the way around the mattress, but it should cover the top portion and stay in tact pretty well.

It does not seem overly bulky. It adds about 3/8 of an inch to each side and the varying depth from what you stuff into the pocket on the back. I find it to still be comfortable and I went from a slim minimalist case to this one for the convenience.

It does slide somewhat - I use a fitted twin sheet to secure the pad in place.

No, I don't have any problem with that at all. I have a mattress pad cover over my foam but I love my bed now. Very comfortable. I highly recommend this pad.

This mattress pad does not make any noise. And yes, you can put a regular mattress pad over it.

I placed the pad on top of my mattress pad and under the top sheet. The pad has not shifted - the backing has a textured finish and the mattress pad is not smooth so there is an element of traction in play. I'm very pleased with the size and effectiveness of the pad.

Mine is 74 x 78 right now. When I first put it on it fit the 76 x 80 dimensions of my mattress almost exactly. But, as we have used it, it seems to becompacted about an inch per side. When I change the sheets, I lift it a bit and move it around and that seems to do something that gets it back to an exact fit again. But even when it's in its shorter and narrower state it looks fine with the mattress pad, sheet and quilt over it.

Pad has thickness, not thin. Bought it for my son for a not so great mattress; he stated it made a big difference. Hope this helps.
